Abstract
According to one embodiment, a first test process concerning a light-exposure process is performed by forming a first lower layer and a first upper layer on a first substrate. A second test process concerning a light-exposure process is performed by forming a second lower layer and a second upper layer on a second substrate. A correction model is created on a basis of results obtained in the first test process and the second test process. A manufacturing process is performed by forming a third lower layer and a third upper layer on a third substrate. In the manufacturing process, an overlay estimation correction value is calculated by using the correction model, based on a first pattern position deviation amount, a step processing history in the manufacturing process, a second pattern position deviation amount, and an overlay residual, and the overlay estimation correction value is used in a light-exposure process.
